[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnerrrrr:
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 G920P.02

Android 5.1.1

Rooted, No ROMS

I am very, VERY confused. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I believe my phone is just fried but I will find out when I take it into the sprint store tomorrow. I will most likely get a new/replacement phone but they will have no idea what caused the problem and I need to figure out how this happened so it won't happen again. I'm also very curious as I don't understand at all.

The problem: It started with me not being able to connect to the internet on ANY of my apps. No crashes or anything, just no connectivity to the internet. Calls and SMS still worked like normal. After calling sprint support they told me dial ##72786#, which then just simply broke calls and SMS. Now NOTHING works.

What caused the problem: This is where I am most confused. I was trying to setup a VPN (purevpn, to be exact) on my Xbox One. In the process of this, I was modifying my router settings on my Windows 8 PC, plugged in a 2nd router, and constantly turned the wifi off and on. I was using my phone to test if the wifi was still working. (e.g. going to google.com on firefox or launching clash of clans...literally that was it) The only thing that I can think may have messed it up was a step in settings up the VPN. On my computer, after I installed the purevpn software I located myself to "Network and Sharing Center", then clicked "Adapter Settings", then clicked on "Pure VPN", then "Sharing", then checked the box "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection", and lastly from the drop down menu, selected "Local Area Network." This allowed all devices on my network to use the VPN. Somehow this messed up my phone that hard?

See image below for clarification:

Steps I have taken to fix this: I tried rebooting my times a million times. Then I cleared DNS cache in firefox and tried to connect. Then I tried hard rebooting my phone to flush DNS cache. Then I called sprint support, who told me dial ##72786#. After dialing this, calling and SMS DO NOT WORK. "Hands free activation" starting running after dialing that number and fails to work everytime. When I wasn't able to call the phone rep back, I used the sprint online chat support. I told the online rep what happened, and they assured me the only way to fix this was to factory reset my phone. As frustrated as I was, I did it. After the factory reboot, my phone STILL CAN'T CONNECT TO ****. Exactly how it was before the reboot, except I lost all of my stuff. I have done countless google searches and am clueless and need help.

Google will push all your stuff back to the phone after you log into your account. But you'll need the internet for that.

How did you get root?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnerrrrr:
I really don't remember, It was months ago. I paid $30 for it though and have never had issues with it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnerrrrr:
Just brought it into a sprint tech store and they fixed by putting in a fresh sim card, reseting the phone, cache, dns, and everything they could reset. After that did not work they flashed an updated version of my phones software on the phone, which removed the root :(, and fixed the issue.

I explained what I did to all of the employees in the store (I was the only one there) and they were all as clueless as me.

Does anyone know what could have possibly caused this?

I was going to go and buy a steam link to play my PC games downstairs but saw that the Mad Catz Mojo is only £20 more and comes with a controller.

Doing a quick google search I found some mention of game streaming available on the Mojo:

Can't add links but there is an article on techradar.com & engadget.com saying gamestream will be included in the Mojos firmware updates.

However these both seem quite outdated and I can't see any information stating that it was implemented in the end.

Has anyone got game streaming to work smoothly on the Mojo? Perhaps through limelight / moonlight? I have a gtx 970 so should be good to go.

I use my Shield TV with gamestream in the bedroom with no issues however don't want to spend another £120 if I can get away with £60 for the Mojo.
[M.O.J.O. General] Pitey:
This works very well with the splashtop software. I use antimicro zu remap the controller buttons. you can even emulate a mouse.

but keep in mind, you have to do everything yourself, the shield is a lot easier to use.
[M.O.J.O. General] cosmohorst:
Hi,

moonlight works great with for example remix OS. As far as i know it also works on unrooted Mojo.

With LAN connection 1080p and 60fps works like a charme.
[M.O.J.O. General] TwistyTravster:
If game streaming is your primary intention, then I would recommend sticking with the NVIDIA Shield. If you buy the MOJO, you can definitely stream games at the same quality as the Shield, but it takes a lot of work to get the MOJO working at full capacity, whereas, the Shield is all ready to go out of the box.

I upgraded the stock firmware shipped with the MOJO to CyanogenMod 12.1. The stock firmware had issues with freezing and really wasn't running at the full potential that the MOJO had to offer. After upgrading it has been a breeze, with the exception of a few small hiccups. But again, this is a lot more work than getting a Shield for the extra dollars more, except that the MOJO can likely do more with regards to Emulation, Movies, Social Media, etc.

I use Moonlight Streaming from a GTX 650 on a Wireless AC network, and it works great with the included controller. I originally tried using Remotr and it lagged like crazy. The support that the controller has with the Gamesmart technology is incredibly impressive. It seems to 'just know' exactly how the controls should be mapped with basic common sense. With that said, if your intention is to stream games from Steam that already have full controller support, then this feature doesn't really bring anything special to the table.

I'm a senior Computer Science student and am looking to make contributions to open source ROMs and projects, however I'm fairly new to the open source scene so I don't really know how to get started.

I've been interested in the scene before, but only as a superuser and not as a developer (this was back in high school). Now that I have the skill set required to help, I don't know how to go about doing so! I'm ok with fixing bugs and small stuff until I get the hang of it. Any suggestions on getting involved?

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amageek:
from that screen (as in the picture), go back one step ...

Go to Traffic Reminder Settings (now you must be very quick, as it will appear only for few milliseconds.), it will appear right above "lock screen data reminder".

Question

Friends, i have a question. I'm using Huawei P8 lite. Yesterday, i updated from android lollipop to marshmallow & EMUI 3.1 to 4.0. I noticed that when I receive a message on WhatsApp, sender's profile picture appears on my status bar and lock screen instead of WhatsApp logo. How can I change the settings?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlb:
I have a Nexus 6P and a Samsung s5 mini. The Samsung has an Ultra Low Power Saving Mode (UPSM) where various features/functions and low level hardware modifications are made to reduce the device to be a "dump phone" with a maximum 18.5 day battery life.

(http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/1...ltra-power-saving-mode-makes-10-last-24-hours).

One of the modifications of UPSM is scaling back the display refresh rate from 60khz to 30khz.

I have been able to replicate most of the UPSM functions with various tasker tasks, shell commands, and kernel/CPU mods.

The one thing I am stuck on is how to downscale the display refresh rate from 60khz to 30khz (or similar supported refresh rate.) I have searched the web, these forums high, and also contacted the ElementalX Kernel developers, and no one really know who to do this or has tried.

My understanding is that dropping the refresh rate by half should reduce the amount of time to refresh the same pixels my half. As well as lowering the FPS allowing the GPU to work less (for down scaling)

From what I have read, the refresh rate khz is usually hard set in the ROM. Apparently some ROMs are set differently, e.g 55khz and 60khz. But if the Samsung can change this on the fly then I imagine this is a value you set in a file within the shell. But which file, where, and how I am unsure.

The 6P has a Samsung WQHD AMOLED panel and the S5 has a Samsung Super AMOLED panel. Both AMOLED and from the same manufacturer I imagine the technology should be similar i.e be able to handle 30khz.

[MENTION=1698538]BuLLeT_93[/MENTION] wrote an article / mod for changing the refresh rate on a G3 device from 60 to 50 but this is obviously specific to the G3 from the references.

(http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/mod-lcd-tweaks-fps-resolutionfor-t3140455)

Method for v4A (Work also for CM Users)

- Open file explorer

- Go to "/sys/devices/platform/g3-display.0/devfreq/g3-display.0/"

- Check "cur_freq" file, if values is 50 the mod work fine!

Method for v4B (Work also for CM Users)

- Open file explorer

- Go to "/sys/devices/platform/g3-display.0/devfreq/g3-display.0/"

- If "min_freq" values is 50 and "max_freq" is 60 the mod work fine!

I have poked around the 6P shell and found /sys/class/devfreq/ which contains all the QCOM related config which includes frequencies. Though I could find anything that had current freq "cur_freq" set to 60 so I am unsure.

Anyone have any ideas? Am I chasing my tail?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Don't you own a charger?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlb:
I have no shortage of chargers but they're kind of useless when there's no power available. I spend 3 months a year doing aid work, usually in Africa or Nepal trekking between remote villages can spend any where from 3 days to 3 weeks without access to power, and then when it is available through a generator they can charge up $10 for 30 minutes. I would be nice to know for my family they could reach me or I can make emergency calls during extended periods away. Sure I have a solar panel and battery pack which is great when they work or are charged. Then when I'm home I might go out for one beer, the next thing I know I'm at a rave in the desert, pulled into a vortex where the space time continuum no longer follows the linear sequence where all used too, nek minute I'm spat out and been MIA for a week or more. I guess it would be a naive thought to think that everyone that has a smart phone lives in a bubble between home and work with always access to charging. Perhaps I am the only person in the world that doesn't. But then for example what if your work is actually cooking meth in an RV in the middle of the desert and the RV breaks down with a flat batt, would be such a shame to have to walk 10 of miles back to the city because the smart phone went flat and couldn't make a simple call for help. Wait I feel like I've seen this happen somewhere before. There was a guy on these forums, I can't recall his name now, but he wrote this awesome guide on how to Unlock/Root/Flash for Nexus 6P :) I wonder if he has any idea how to interpret my OP and provide any clarity of possibilities. It seemed like he knew a thing or two but I've been wrong once before I suppose!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Unfortunately this is fast beyond my expertise! I was just having a little joke, I do hope someone is able to help you though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlb:
Yes I know (So was I partially ;)) and thanks so do I!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlb:
The more I read up about refresh rates for displays the more I find conflicting answers about possibilities. It's obviously a complex topic with little experimentation from modders etc. Some say refresh rate is set in the hardware of the display and can't be changed, other says its in the display driver and potentially can be changed, some say yes it can be decreased but not increased, some say you can't change the refresh rate but you can change the clock/timer interval which essentially does the same thing.

I did an experiment yesterday which returned some interesting results capturing the output of "dumpsys display" on:

On S5 mini (Lollipop) - Normal

On S5 mini (Lollipop)- in UPSM

On N6 (Marshmallow)

The S5 mini Normal vs UPSM mode there were a few very minor difference between modes. However there was one major difference which fits close to a refresh rate (or similar change)

I've attached the results of the all 3 dumpsys should anyone wish to compare.

In the next post I will post summary of differences between S5 Normal and S5 UPSM
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlb:
There is one major difference between the two modes, and that's with the amount of "Callbacks: size". In normal mode it is 81 and in UPSM it is 33. Now comparing this to N6 it is 58. These numbers line up very close to refresh rates 80kz, 30khz and 60khz respectively.

Now if I inspect the ASOP code for DISPLAY MANAGER (

android / platform / frameworks / base / feef9887e8f8eb6f64fc1b4552c02efb5755cdc1 / . / services / java / com / android / server / display / DisplayManagerService.java)

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...oid/server/display/DisplayManagerService.java

I can see the Callback size is printed from "mCallbacks.size()" but I am having trouble working out where "mCallbacks.size()" is defined and set.

Hey guys, i quite unfortunately own a galaxy a8 (a800i). It has almost no dev support. After rooting my phone, i tried converting an app to system(through limk2sd). It did but when i rebooted my phone the app disappeared! Had to manually locate the system files (yes they were there, including the apk) and delete them.

Again,tried it with titanium backup, didnt work out.

Also tried moving the folders manually and i took care to set the correct permissions, the app just wouldnt appear.

At last, after deleting all the system app data and files again, i finally placed the apk with correct permissions in the/system/app folder and rebooted my phone. The app was there but it was force closing.

I tried doing this with 4 different apps, to no avail.

I run stock firmware.

(please note- Although a800F and A800i have same hardware, a800i will not support the others custom recovery, root methods,kernels etc.)

Any devs who might be interested in this? Id be glad.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LastStandingDroid:
You need to create a folder with the same name as the apk and push the folder to system app.

Then put apk in the folder with same name
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] abhinavparasher:
Tried that too, been working on this since 2 days. Nothing seems to work. I have never encountered an error like this before on any other of my devices. All the pre installed system apps are odexed, and the one im trying is not, for obvious reasons. Do you think it has got something to do with the error?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LastStandingDroid:
Hmm missing Libs? Or the odex file itself?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] abhinavparasher:
No, the lib and the .dex file of the user app im trying to move to system is intact, all im trying to ask is that do you think the system is not accepting the converted app because it has a .dex instead of the regular .odex file which is the case with all system apps?

This assumption might be wild, but considering that i have never faced such an issue before in 10-12 android devices that i have owned in the past, it might be of some use.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LastStandingDroid:
Has nothing do do with it, if it's a "user app" as long if the app has all needed files in correct folder it should run. it should be working if it doesn't it might be any issue that the app won't run while in system/app
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] abhinavparasher:
So for now, we havnt arrive to any conclusion. All apps break if they are converted to system apps. Tried to do it via TB/Link2sd/various other tools and manually. App components are present in /system/app including the apk and lib, but the app wont appear anywhere on the phone.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LastStandingDroid:
That's because it has to be placed inside a folder with the same name as the app

Like /system/app/viper/viper.apk

It can't be /system/app/viper/base.apk

Also libs should be in

System/app/viper/lib/arm/*****.so

Hope this issue helps
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] abhinavparasher:
i did try this before. tried it again. It doesnt work. I was extremely careful with directries, app names, libs and permissions.

Like ive said iv done this countless times before on other devices, and it has always worked.

Something else i would like to mention- Thought the app shortcut doesnt appear anywhere, whenever i open the apk file (on my sd card) it says "do you want to update the app" which means the app is actually already installed. I click yes and the app is installed, app icon returns.

I open application manager and open up this app's settings. I get the option of "Uninstall updates" instead of uninstall apps which proves the first time i moved to system, the app became a system app but it disappeared. If i click uninstall updates, the app disappears again. If i try to integrate update with link2sd the app disappears any ways.

There is just no reason for this to happen! So basically im stuck with a phone which barely got a root method, doesnt have a custom recovery, has a enforcing kernel, and doesnt allow me to move apps to /system.

Do you think it might be possible to "flash" the app zip file via a custom recovery? (if we get one for a800i lol)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LastStandingDroid:
Well to be honest I did face same issue with Samsung s health I'm not sure what causes it, can be system related or something.

Don't you have spacex kernel which is set to permissive?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] abhinavparasher:
The only difference is that it happens with me for every app lol.

I did hear about it but im pretty sure its for a800F. Anything related to a800F causes a bootloop in a800i. Someone on the forum tried the spacex kernel. Do you think you can make it compatible somehow?

If nothing works i might just compile a kernel with always_enforce set to false. Then i should be able to change the policy to permissive with seteneforce 0 command.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ashyx:
Are you the dude that's going to test twrp?

I have built a permissive kernel for this device also.

You are welcome to try it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] abhinavparasher:
Sure il try that too. Permissive kernel is something that many of us need. Infact i was gonna make it. Thanks for the effort!

You can pass me the flashable tar file. In the meanwhile, il test the recovery and get back to you.
